Alexxis Lemire (born May 30, 1996 [1] [2] ) is an American actress and model. She is known for her roles as Jesse Havnell in the 2017 Syfy horror television film Truth or Dare , as Kate Miller in the 2018 Lifetime thriller television film The Art of Murder, and as Aster Flores in the 2020 Netflix original movie The Half of It .
Lemire was born in Londonderry, New Hampshire to a Puerto Rican mother and a French father. Of her heritage, Lemire has said "Sometimes people put the pressure on to choose what side I am. Being in this industry and going to castings, sometimes I'm too Latin for a Caucasian role, or not Latin enough. That's a struggle I continue to face." Lemire has one half-brother. [2]
After graduating from Londonderry High School in 2014 where she participated in the school's cheer team, [3] Lemire moved with her mother to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career, saying of the decision, “I felt like acting was the only way I was able to express myself. I could step into these other roles and understand a little more about empathy.” [4] Aside from her acting career, Lemire is also a professional model. [2]
In 2017, Lemire starred in Truth or Dare, a Syfy channel horror movie. [5] In 2018, Lemire was cast in Netflix's The Half of It, an LGBT coming-of-age comedy-drama film written and directed by Alice Wu, [2] which was released in May 2020.
Lemire began a relationship with YouTuber, Alex Wasabi, in 2022. They became engaged August 2025.
